Amid the Justice Department scandal, there is renewed interest in protecting the media's First Amendment rights. Now we see media organizations pushing for what's called "shield laws" to protect reporters. The Obama Administration has expressed interest in enacting such legislation. But would a media shield law have protected the Associated press from government snooping? RT Correspondent Liz Wahl has more.

http://www.democracynow.org - In its first report on press freedom in the United States, the Committee to Protect Journalists warns President Obama has ushered in a paralyzing climate of fear for both reporters and their government sources. Among the cases it details: Six government employees -- plus two contractors, including Edward Snowden -- have faced felony criminal prosecutions since 2009 under the 1917 Espionage Act for leaking classified information to the press, compared just three such prosecutions in all previous U.S. administrations. The Department of Justice has also secretly subpoenaed and seized Associated Press reporter's phone logs and emails, and New York Times reporter James Risen was ordered to testify against a former CIA officer who provided leaked information to him, or go to jail. We speak to the report's author, Leonard Downie Jr., former executive editor of The Washington Post. He spoke with dozens of journalists who told him officials are "reluctant to discuss even unclassified information ... because they fear that leak investigations and government surveillance make it more difficult for reporters to protect them as sources."

United Nations, 10 February 2009 - The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), is launching its annual report "Attacks on the Press". Joel Simon, CPJ Executive Director is introducing the report. In 2008, the numbers of journalists killed and jailed both dropped for the first time since the war on terror was launched in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. This is welcome news, but it is tempered by harsh realities. The war on terror had a devastating effect on journalists, and the trends will be difficult to reverse. Over seven years, journalists were targeted for murder in record numbers, while deterioration in the international legal environment led to a surge in journalist imprisonments.

Foundation

A group of U.S. foreign correspondents founded the organization in 1981 in response to harassment from authoritarian governments.

Funding

According to the organization's 2011 Annual Report, financial supporters include individuals, corporations, and foundations. The report does not include details on the largest financial supporters. Corporate media donors include the Associated Press, CNBC, CNN and Fox News.

Operations

The committee organizes public protests and works through diplomatic channels to effect change. It publishes articles, news releases and special reports. Between 2002 and 2008, it published a biannual magazine, Dangerous Assignments. It also publishes an annual worldwide survey of press freedom called Attacks on the Press.

Trump is a native of New York City and a son of Fred Trump, who inspired him to enter real estate development. After two years at Fordham University and while studying at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Trump worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son. Upon graduating in 1968 he joined the company, and in 1971 was given control, renaming the company "The Trump Organization". Since then he has built hotels, golf courses, and other properties, many of which bear his name. He is a major figure in the American business scene and has received prominent media exposure. The NBC reality show The Apprentice bolstered his fame, and his three marriages were extensively reported in tabloids.

“Russia has secured not just its interests, but more importantly demonstrated itself to be a power broker in this intractable conflict, which may lead to other political aspirations for an influential role in the Middle East,” Kofman told The Independent.
Although details of the deployment are still under wraps, unconfirmed reports that Chechen battalions were preparing to deploy to Syria began to surface in December 2016. Their mission was reportedly to guard Russia's Hmeimim air base, near the coastal city of Latakia. Russian media said booklets that included basic phrases in Arabic and insignia of armed factions in Aleppo were being distributed to troops at a base near the Chechen capital Grozny. These initial reports were first denied by Kadyrov.

ISIS posted the killing video of Kenji Goto, one of two Japanese hostages captured by the militant group, on February 1st and the reaction from netizens has varied.
Some netizens speculated that Goto was blinking a Morse code message, some claim the doomed man was blinking: “Don’t save me!”
Others considered Goto’s work in the Middle East honorable but said he should’ve committed suicide as soon as he realized he would be captured. Goto could’ve saved his country the resulting trouble of ransom demands and criticism if he’d just killed himself before ISIS could leverage him as a tool.
Japanese netizens consider Goto’s actions as a journalist in the Middle East more foolhardy than courageous. Many wanted the two Japanese hostages to take responsibility for their own actions since they ventured into a war torn country.
But what about those who are unable to escape their situations? Should the world continue to ignore them or care enough to show the world their situation?
Kenji Goto went to the Middle East as a journalist who showed the world real problems, his death shouldn’t also draw a curtain across his accomplishments.

http://democracynow.org - On Friday, the White House took the unprecedented act of barring The New York Times, CNN, Politico, the Los Angeles Times, the BBC and several other news organizations from an off-camera briefing known as a gaggle. Meanwhile, several right-wing news outlets were allowed to attend, including Breitbart, The Washington Times and One America News Network. Just hours earlier, Trump repeatedly attacked the media, describing it as an "enemy of the people." Then, on Saturday, Donald Trump announced he would not attend this year’s White House correspondents’ dinner. The last president to skip the dinner was Ronald Reagan in 1981. At the time, Reagan was recovering from an assassination attempt. We speak to Robert Mahoney, deputy executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Amid the Justice Department scandal, there is renewed interest in protecting the media's First Amendment rights. Now we see media organizations pushing for what's called "shield laws" to protect reporters. The Obama Administration has expressed interest in enacting such legislation. But would a media shield law have protected the Associated press from government snooping? RT Correspondent Liz Wahl has more.

http://www.democracynow.org - In its first report on press freedom in the United States, the Committee to Protect Journalists warns President Obama has ushered in a paralyzing climate of fear for both reporters and their government sources. Among the cases it details: Six government employees -- plus two contractors, including Edward Snowden -- have faced felony criminal prosecutions since 2009 under the 1917 Espionage Act for leaking classified information to the press, compared just three such prosecutions in all previous U.S. administrations. The Department of Justice has also secretly subpoenaed and seized Associated Press reporter's phone logs and emails, and New York Times reporter James Risen was ordered to testify against a former CIA officer who provided leaked information to him, or go to jail. We speak to the report's author, Leonard Downie Jr., former executive editor of The Washington Post. He spoke with dozens of journalists who told him officials are "reluctant to discuss even unclassified information ... because they fear that leak investigations and government surveillance make it more difficult for reporters to protect them as sources."

United Nations, 10 February 2009 - The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), is launching its annual report "Attacks on the Press". Joel Simon, CPJ Executive Director is introducing the report. In 2008, the numbers of journalists killed and jailed both dropped for the first time since the war on terror was launched in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. This is welcome news, but it is tempered by harsh realities. The war on terror had a devastating effect on journalists, and the trends will be difficult to reverse. Over seven years, journalists were targeted for murder in record numbers, while deterioration in the international legal environment led to a surge in journalist imprisonments.

“Russia has secured not just its interests, but more importantly demonstrated itself to be a power broker in this intractable conflict, which may lead to other political aspirations for an influential role in the Middle East,” Kofman told The Independent.
Although details of the deployment are still under wraps, unconfirmed reports that Chechen battalions were preparing to deploy to Syria began to surface in December 2016. Their mission was reportedly to guard Russia's Hmeimim air base, near the coastal city of Latakia. Russian media said booklets that included basic phrases in Arabic and insignia of armed factions in Aleppo were being distributed to troops at a base near the Chechen capital Grozny. These initial reports were first denied by Kadyrov.

ISIS posted the killing video of Kenji Goto, one of two Japanese hostages captured by the militant group, on February 1st and the reaction from netizens has varied.
Some netizens speculated that Goto was blinking a Morse code message, some claim the doomed man was blinking: “Don’t save me!”
Others considered Goto’s work in the Middle East honorable but said he should’ve committed suicide as soon as he realized he would be captured. Goto could’ve saved his country the resulting trouble of ransom demands and criticism if he’d just killed himself before ISIS could leverage him as a tool.
Japanese netizens consider Goto’s actions as a journalist in the Middle East more foolhardy than courageous. Many wanted the two Japanese hostages to take responsibility for their own actions since they ventured into a war torn country.
But what about those who are unable to escape their situations? Should the world continue to ignore them or care enough to show the world their situation?
Kenji Goto went to the Middle East as a journalist who showed the world real problems, his death shouldn’t also draw a curtain across his accomplishments.

Protecting Journalists in One of the World's Most DangerousCountries

Committee to Protect Journalists: Trump's Attacks on Media Will Be Felt by Journalists Around World

http://democracynow.org - On Friday, the White House took the unprecedented act of barring The New York Times, CNN, Politico, the Los Angeles Times, the BBC and several other news organizations from an off-camera briefing known as a gaggle. Meanwhile, several right-wing news outlets were allowed to attend, including Breitbart, The Washington Times and One America News Network. Just hours earlier, Trump repeatedly attacked the media, describing it as an "enemy of the people." Then, on Saturday, Donald Trump announced he would not attend this year’s White House correspondents’ dinner. The last president to skip the dinner was Ronald Reagan in 1981. At the time, Reagan was recovering from an assassination attempt. We speak to Robert Mahoney, deputy executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Media Shield Law fails to protect journalists

Amid the Justice Department scandal, there is renewed interest in protecting the media's First Amendment rights. Now we see media organizations pushing for what's called "shield laws" to protect reporters. The Obama Administration has expressed interest in enacting such legislation. But would a media shield law have protected the Associated press from government snooping? RT Correspondent Liz Wahl has more.

What can be done to protect journalists around the world?

To discuss journalist James Foley's tragic story and what it means for journalists around ...

http://www.democracynow.org - In its first report on press freedom in the United States, the Committee to Protect Journalists warns President Obama has ushered in a paralyzing climate of fear for both reporters and their government sources. Among the cases it details: Six government employees -- plus two contractors, including Edward Snowden -- have faced felony criminal prosecutions since 2009 under the 1917 Espionage Act for leaking classified information to the press, compared just three such prosecutions in all previous U.S. administrations. The Department of Justice has also secretly subpoenaed and seized Associated Press reporter's phone logs and emails, and New York Times reporter James Risen was ordered to testify against a former CIA officer who provided leaked information to him, or go to jail. We speak to the report's author, Leonard Downie Jr., former executive editor of The Washington Post. He spoke with dozens of journalists who told him officials are "reluctant to discuss even unclassified information ... because they fear that leak investigations and government surveillance make it more difficult for reporters to protect them as sources."

Attacks on the Press in 2008 (Committee to Protect Journalists)

United Nations, 10 February 2009 - The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), is launching its annual report "Attacks on the Press". Joel Simon, CPJ Executive Director is introducing the report. In 2008, the numbers of journalists killed and jailed both dropped for the first time since the war on terror was launched in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. This is welcome news, but it is tempered by harsh realities. The war on terror had a devastating effect on journalists, and the trends will be difficult to reverse. Over seven years, journalists were targeted for murder in record numbers, while deterioration in the international legal environment led to a surge in journalist imprisonments.

In many parts of the world, journalism is a profession under murderous assault. Nowhere has this been more true than in the Middle East in recent years.
Figures compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalists show an increase in the deaths of reporters covering the region, with 30 journalists killed in 2012 in Syria alone.
The period between 1992 and 2012 saw the killings of 438 journalists in the Middle East and North Africa.
Iraq was the deadliest assignment. Many journalists were kidnapped, and have never been heard from again. Others were lucky to have escaped with their lives.
Targeting Journalism shows the challenges faced by Arab journalists today and highlights cases of reporters who have disappeared or been killed in Egypt, Iraq, Yemen and the occupied Palestinian territories.
